Go-Kat-Go and Bo's Funky Stuff

We've noticed two trends lately, in the used stuff business -- first, a general proliferation of vintage/antique/thrift stores, particularly in the Melrose shopping district around 7th Avenue, very roughly bordered by Camelback and Indian School roads.

Longtime Valley favorite Go-Kat-Go moved last November from 7th Street to 7th Avenue, into a strip called the Melrose Center. "It couldn't have been a better move," says owner Brandi Kvetko. The amount of foot traffic here is far higher than on 7th Street. Go-Kat-Go not only reaps the benefits of their location, they also support their local pals like Two Hippies Breakfast Joint and Blueberry Deluxe Boutique.
